The session was really easy to arrange and Changeworks ensured everything ran smoothly. The Low Carbon Living session was a great introduction for our staff and students looking to save energy around their home and they came away with some really helpful information.

 

– Senior Student Communications Officer, Edinburgh Napier University

The sessions helped staff be able to have more informed conversations with those we support around types of heating and reducing energy costs. A lot of us also didn’t know about the priority services register so that was really helpful to know and share with our members. Staff were also able to take information away to help with energy saving in their own homes.

The fact the sessions are only 30 minutes were really appealing to staff – whilst we only had a short time together, a lot was packed into the session!

The sessions were very easy to arrange
I would definitely recommend these sessions to others!

Changeworks delivered a well-organised and flexible series of sessions that were both engaging and informative. The content provided a clear overview of key sustainability topics, tailored to suit our organisation’s needs…

Morgan Spence’s delivery of the sessions was clear, insightful, and easy to follow.

I would highly recommend these sessions to other organisations, regardless of where they are on their net zero journey. These sessions have inspired us to explore similar approaches to delivering net zero and climate change training internally.

 

Sustainability Officer, Hillcrest Housing Association

The training helped raise awareness and understanding across our team. Staff gained practical insights into how our organisation can reduce its carbon footprint and make more sustainable choices. It also encouraged greater engagement and discussion around environmental responsibility, which supports our wider sustainability goals. Lesley was so informative.

The training was very straightforward to arrange. Communication with Jessica was clear, and the booking process was very simple. The flexibility in scheduling and the support provided made it easy to coordinate attendance around our staff’s busy diaries.

The sessions were informative, well-structured, and relevant for any organisation looking to better understand and contribute to saving energy in the office and at home. It’s an excellent opportunity to build knowledge and inspire practical action within the workplace/home.

Lesley was a fantastic trainer! It’s a great opportunity for any organisation looking to build awareness and take practical steps towards saving energy.

 

– Administrative Assistant, Lintel Trust

Working with Changeworks was straightforward and well-organised, and the Low Carbon Living session delivered real value for our Sustainability Champions Network. Attendees of the workshop gained practical, everyday actions to reduce carbon and make a meaningful impact. I would recommend these sessions to any organisation looking to equip their staff to take high-impact, sustainable actions.

 

– Behaviour Change Programme Manager: Climate, Biodiversity & Sustainability, Edinburgh University

It was great to welcome Changeworks to the Hub to offer staff at Edinburgh International Festival information on Low Carbon Technologies and energy use. The session was very easy to arrange, came at no cost to us and was condensed enough to fit in with the busy staff schedules.

Attendees were provided with the basic knowledge necessary to understand energy usage at home, identifies the small changes we can make to save money now and explored how we can embrace new technologies and reduce emissions.

 

– Edinburgh International Festival

The session was really interesting and easy to understand. Everyone seemed to learn something new and we all came away with at least one energy saving tip we weren’t aware of.

It’s great to be able to offer some guidance to our employees, as we are all feeling the impact of high energy prices at home.

 

– Office and Facilities Manager, The Yard

We were delighted to be able to offer our people the opportunity to attend the Low Carbon Living sessions from Changeworks. Setting up the sessions was really simple, all dates, booking links and promotional resources were provided so all we had to do was post them out on our intranet and communication channels.

At no cost to our company or employees these sessions are highly recommended. Feedback received from one attendee: “Very informative, I got a few tips and I think especially for people dealing with customers it was super helpful”.

 

– Learning and Development Partner, Kingdom Housing Association

The session was well organised and easy to arrange. Communication beforehand was clear, and the resources provided were helpful for promoting the event.

The presenter was engaging and created a welcoming atmosphere, which encouraged participation. I would recommend these sessions to other employers looking for practical and informative content.

 

– Home Energy & Emergency Advice Officer, Clackmannanshire Council

Changeworks came to ACS to provide face-to-face training for our staff, with practical steps they could take at home to reduce their carbon production and save money.

By showing staff members techniques for saving energy and money, this will improve our staff’s standard of living and show them the value of energy saving, which can then be applied at work. The sessions were very easy to organise and I would recommend them to other employers.

 

– Andrew MacFarlane, Head of Circular Operations, ACS Clothing

Working with Changeworks to arrange a Low Carbon Living session was a smooth process from sign-up through to delivery. Our staff found the session valuable, with several noting that they learned something new and planned to make changes to their home practices.

As a focussed session on saving energy and reducing household costs, I would recommend this to other employers, as it could help save money while also supporting climate action.
